Good Morning from Hubcaps.com in Southern California!

It’s been hot so today’s cooler weather is much appreciated. I’m sure the firemen in the hills above Pasadena are appreciating it too. What heroes they are! Thanks to them all from all of us here.

Our featured vehicle today comes to us from Bryan, in Windsor, Colorado. It’s this very cool looking 1966 Ford Bronco. I love the very simple styling of this Bronco. It’s small size, 92″ wheelbase, made it very popular for off-roaders. Standard was a Dana Corp. transfer case and locking hubs but many options were also available. The base price was $2,194.00 and 23,776 were produced that first year. They sold well. Some of the options included front bucket seats, rear bench seats, a tachometer and a CB Radio.

Bryan was very pleased with his FRD995 wheel covers that we sent him for the front wheels. We also refurbished the back wheel covers, our FRD994’s for him. Doesn’t she have a great sporty look? I love it! Thanks so much for sharing her with us, Bryan. What an awesome truck.

Once again, I’d like to let you all know that we’re here to help you. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to call us at 1-800-826-5880 or email me at April@Hubcaps.com. We’ll be happy to help you. Please send me your pictures and stories, too. I’m always happy to read them.

Take care,

Morning and Happy Friday to you all!

Today I’m sharing this awesome 1949 Plymouth Woody Station Wagon with you all.  Ken sent us pictures of this beauty that he owns in New York.  Isn’t she gorgeous?  How fun would it be to cruise around in this baby in the sweet summertime?

The 1949 Plymouth Woody was the first all steel station wagon.  But Woodies were expensive to build and expensive to maintain.  There were 3,443 of these cars produced.  The engine was a 117 cubic inch L-Head Six.  She had three seats and sat 8 passengers.  The wood bodies were produced by a company called U.S. Body and Forging Co.  Some of the options available for this baby were an electric clock, two different push-button radios, 3 heater options and 3 different paint colors.

We have many hubcaps for the classic Plymouth’s.  Please visit our 1949 to 1965 Plymouth page to see if we have what you’re looking for.  If you don’t see it, give us a call.  We have many hub caps and wheel covers that we haven’t had a chance to picture on the web site yet.

I’m running out of pictures.  I would love for you all to email me pictures of your cars and trucks and I’ll get them posted on here.  Feel free to email me at April@Hubcaps.com.  Just send me your pictures and stories.  We’ll show off your beauties!

Thanks all…Thanks so much to Ken in New York for sending us the pictures of his baby.  She is gorgeous and we thank you for allowing us to post about her here.

Morning!

Wow, another week gone by.  I can’t believe how fast time flies.  Today we are showcasing this awesome 1967 Chrysler Newport.   The Newport was introduced in 1961 and based on the Chrysler C-body.  Look at the length of this baby.  It has a 124″ wheelbase, a squared-off design and more pronounced body contours.  The standard engine on the ‘67 Newport was the 383. This model still had the Chrysler trademarked “upside-down” speedometer needle.  What a beauty she is, isn’t she?  To finish her look, we restored a set of Chrysler wheel covers, our part number CHR307.  You can see them here on our Dodge Charger page.

We love to share pictures of our customer’s vehicle.  Just email me your pictures and a little story and we’ll get it posted it for you.  Feel free to email me here at April@Hubcaps.com.  I love hearing from you.

Our restoration department has been working very hard at restoring these old wheelcovers.  They come to us in bad shape, dinged and dented and scratched.  Our guys polish and buff and remove the dents and then the hub caps look almost new.  We want to keep our customers thoroughly satisfied.  Give us a chance, we’ll do our best for you.

Thanks so much to Brian for sharing the pictures of his Newport.  What a beauty.  I absolutely love these big cars!

Take care all,

Hey all,

Today Hubcaps.com is celebrating this beautiful 1970 Ford Mustang. What a great color she is! Love this green. If anyone knows what the color is called, please let me know. Look at those wheel covers!! They are our FRD639 Wire wheelcovers for 14″ wheels. They are just awesome, aren’t they? They came to us dirty and banged up and our restoration department made them look brand-new.

This ‘Stang was big. She had the dual lights in the grille and differently shaped rear taillights but boy, doesn’t she have that look of power? The Mustang was growing in size and weight and apparently, that wasn’t what the customer wanted at the time. The Pony cars were diminishing in sales by 1970 as people were searching for a more fuel efficient vehicle. Well, we all want them now, don’t we? She’s truly a classic.

We’re happy to showcase this Mustang and her hubcaps. If you’d like your car or truck featured here, please don’t hesitate to email me at April@Hubcaps.com. I’ll be happy to post it for you.

If you have any questions, please visit Hubcaps.com or call us at 1-800-826-5880 or 1-909-597-2600. We’ll help out in any way that we can. Thanks to all.

Take care,
